The Colts made the sneaky good signing of the week

With people watching the NBA Finals, trying to #FreeOcho and wondering what kind of the trouble PacMan will get into, people probably were not paying attention to the sniper move the Colts pulled off this week. You don’t have to be a Colts fan to respect their come up.

BradshawThis week they signed former New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw. Bradshaw isn’t a superstar back but no matter how you cut he’s a damn good player. He has battled injuries the last few years but most of the time you can count on him out there making a difference. Despite the injuries he is only 27 years old and coming off of a thousand yard year so I’m willing to bet he still has some gas in the tank. He was only cut by the Giants because of cap reasons it wasn’t play on the field. Bradshaw is a dual threat in the backfield, even though he isn’t a huge back he runs with power and is a major threat in the screen game.

The Colts gave the back a one year deal worth a base 1.1 million, 250k signing bonus along with possible 650k game bonuses. The one year deal probably isn’t what Bradshaw wanted but another good year may put him in good position to negotiate next year.

Andrew Luck is one happy camper but I bet Donald Brown and Vick Ballard are pissed. No matter what kind of good PR interviews they will or won’t give they know Bradshaw is a threat to a big chunk of the playing time in that backfield.

Like it or not the Colts came up this week, let us know how you feel about this signing.
